README

JWT Support for Empathy Applications using https://github.com/firebase/php-jwt.

This extension depends on elib-base.

The JWT service will automatically be enabled for your application. (See services.php).

The two methods available with this extension are:

<php
$token = DI::getContainer()->get('JWT')->generate();

generate() uses a one-hour lifetime by default. Pass a lifetime in seconds when a different expiry is required:

<php
$ttl = 60 * 60 * 24 * 30;
$token = DI::getContainer()->get('JWT')->generate($ttl);

The default can be configured with the ELIB_JWT_TTL environment variable or the ELib JWT_TTL setting. getTTL() returns the resolved lifetime, which is useful when setting a browser cookie to the same expiry:

<php
$jwt = DI::getContainer()->get('JWT');
$ttl = $jwt->getTTL();
$token = $jwt->generate($ttl);

and

<php
$token = DI::getContainer()->get('JWT')->tryAuthenticate();
